Your money: Fear or Fuel?

Does money scare you or motivate you?
When you think about your money what’s the first thing that comes up for you?
If it’s fear, worry or avoidance, you’re the norm rather than the exception (and if not, you can stop reading this article).
I’ve been there and I know it can be overwhelming, but it does not have to stay this way. These feelings start to go away when we get curious about them and realize that they keep us in a victim mentality which stops us from working on improving our situation. Once we decide that they are no longer helping us, we are ready to look at our finances and find ways to improve them and turn money into a fuel to reach our goals.
So, are you ready to turn fear into fuel?
One way to start is to review the most common sentence you use when thinking about money and tweak it to make it more empowering. For example, “I don’t make enough money” can become “I don’t make enough money yet, but I am ready to research and seize opportunities to change this.”
How can you rephrase your internal dialogue about money so that it motivates you?
